This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The autonomous emergency braking (aeb) and forward collision warning (fcw) systems on my vehicle never activate when traffic situations are obvious for the aeb and fcw to activate. Even home-spun system tests don't show the systems to be operational. The local Kia dealership and repair center cannot validate the system's integrity because they cannot accomplish definitive tests to verify the system. They say "we don't know." This is a safety issue that must be resolved. This issue is ongoing.
My 2017 Kia Forte S has forward collision warning system (fcws) and autonomous emergency braking system. The fcws does not work in that it does not warn me of impending collision hazzards. I have no idea if the aebs works as the fcws triggers that system. Kia techs have not shown me that it works; I.e. warning audible nor warning image on lcd display. I have tried running up on a car in front of me until about 10 feet back at 50-60 mph with no warning then I manually applied the brakes.
